SAN JOSE, Calif. and LAS VEGAS, June 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ZENITH LIVE — Zscaler, Inc. (ZS) today announced an extension of its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS), a preferred cloud provider. Additionally, Zscaler announced innovations based on the Zscaler and AWS Zero Trust Architecture to help enterprises securely accelerate their journey to the cloud. Working together, the companies will provide customers with a unified solution to consolidate and simplify security operations in the cloud while helping organizations evolve their security architecture from inefficient legacy models to a modern Zero Trust approach designed for the cloud.

Businesses today often have to purchase, implement, and manage dozens of disparate point products, which has resulted in higher operational complexity and overhead. As the cloud continues to mature, enterprises are looking for a comprehensive cloud-based platform with integrated services including cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM), Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP), Data Loss Prevention. (DLP), configuration management database (CMDB), and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) analytics, to protect their globally distributed workloads.

To help enterprises advance their deployment of Zero Trust to secure their cloud applications and improve the security of their 5G connections, Zscaler and AWS have extended their relationship to provide simple yet powerful solutions built on AWS. These solutions are designed to help identify, prioritize, mitigate and remediate cloud workload risks to cloud applications and infrastructure, while also extending Zero Trust to private 5G connections. In cooperation with AWS, Zscaler’s three innovations designed to advance cloud security and cloud connections include:

1. Provision of a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), based on AWS: Built and operated on AWS, Zscaler’s new Posture Control™ solution helps DevOps and security teams accelerate cloud adoption by effectively implementing their part of the AWS shared responsibility model. Platform reduces operational complexity and overhead by replacing multi-point security products (CSPM, CIEM, CWPP, IaC scanning, DLP, CMDB) with a single, unified platform that scans millions of attributes to prioritize critical issues for the security team to focus on. first. AWS was chosen for its range of services, scale, reliability, and prevalence as the primary cloud provider for a large portion of Zscaler’s customer base.
2. Extending Zero Trust Security to Workloads on AWS: In cooperation with AWS, Zscaler extends the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ cloud security platform to protect cloud workloads from malware and data breaches as enterprises continue to migrate and refactor their applications and workloads working on AWS. Zscaler offers customers the benefits of inline inspection of Internet traffic from carrier-scale cloud workloads through deep integration with native AWS technologies, such as Gateway Load Balancer, AWS Secrets Manager, AWS CloudFormation, and AWS Auto Scaling. It also extends the platform’s application-to-application segmentation capabilities, dramatically reducing the enterprise attack surface and the risks associated with lateral movement of threats.
3. Enable Zero Trust for Private 5G with AWS Wavelength – Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange protects workloads running on AWS Wavelength by providing granular Zero Trust user access directly to devices connected to the mobile network. The service is delivered using Zscaler Private Access™ (ZPA), an AWS-based zero trust architecture that supports cloud and hybrid infrastructure control and deployment.

“Zscaler, together with AWS, provides an innovative and highly scalable solution for securing cloud workloads,” said Rui Cabeço, IT Services Group Leader and Global Head of Outbound Connectivity at Siemens. “We look forward to leveraging the powerful capabilities of Zscaler and AWS Marketplace to drive business agility as we continue our cloud transformation.”

“Many organizations are grappling with the notion of zero trust for cloud security,” said Punit Minocha, executive vice president, Business and Corporate Development at Zscaler. “Zscaler’s latest innovations – our posture control solution and new cloud-based workload protection services – built on AWS as the preferred cloud provider, provide our mutual customers with simplified and efficient solutions. to effectively address cloud workload risk, delivered through the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange cloud security platform.”

“Zscaler and AWS share a common vision to deliver the highest quality security solutions to our joint customers and help them navigate the latest cloud security requirements,” said Chris Grusz, Director, ISV Partner and AWS Marketplace Business. Development. “This expanded relationship will provide organizations around the world with simple yet powerful solutions built on and tightly integrated with AWS security, observability and data protection services.”
